What Are the Odds That the Big Bang Theory is Wrong?

[Curtisc]

Hi Everyone,

Always loved physics. The superset of sciences. I loved Stephen Hawking's description of a good theory in aBHoT, which must have been over 30 years ago now. Everyone can explain the past a million ways, simple testable predictions about the future observations.

I think the Big Bang Theory is the most disgraceful anti-science repeat of the 24 chromosome train wreck. Every prediction fails, every adjustable parameter added is supporting evidence the theory is dead. In a Universe where we don't understand gravity at great distance, what are the odds the microwave background and observed red shifts are not features of an expansion and simply to do with our missing something local that is harming the way we understand the Copernican principle? The latest s-show is galactic magnetic fields. Supermassive black holes appear to be in the genesis of galaxies. So do the fields. What are the odds they are related?

Greatest man of physics I ever met was Douglas Adams who signed my program after his lecture on dolphins at the British Association Science Festival in 1991. I was 16. I went to three lectures including his. Partied hard the rest of the time. Douglas was most know for books and radio. Already a tall man, he looked ten feet tall when this eager 16 year old asked for his autograph while hailing a taxi. God rest his soul.

Studied medicine, hated it. Computer science degree, probably across metrics I'm tied for top of the food chain in Enterprise Architecture in the UK from failing fast and often early. Also from contract 9 months out of university and talking my way into an architect role after three years. Good Times. Thirteen years in Auckland chasing Kiwi girls and been back in Angleterre 6 years.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Welcome to PF!

An awesome life summary so far.

Please take some time to read our site guidelines as we are a highly moderated site and don't discuss fringe science, personal theories, or speculation. Our main mission is to explain STEM subjects when students have problems.

100% with you. I studied math, chemistry and biology A-level, my degree is computer science and I have 23 years commercial experience in IT, currently managing director of a consultancy offering enterprise architecture services at scale. I've been trying to buy the lifetime Gold membership, since the site is absolutely a brilliant thing to offer those who need it, just need PayPal to recognise my number change. I'm tutoring my son through his A-level equivs, he's studying in NZ. While in tutor mode... thx

I'm going to point to the relevant bit of the guidelines, given what you wrote in your second paragraph:

Non-mainstream theories:
Generally, in the forums we do not allow the following:

• Challenges to mainstream theories (relativity, the Big Bang, etc.) that go beyond current professional discussion

So maybe put off shelling out any cash in support of the forum until you're sure it's the place for you.

Thank you for message. I can respect this in discussion. It was my understanding that it was a personal comment section to introduce myself. I'm shocked by this attitude to a personal statement, something the Nazi would do.

5 posts to Godwin must be close to record but I've only been on the site 6 years.
Introduction is fine, speculation is off limits. Plenty going on in mainstream physics to keep you happy though.

Playing the Nazi card already? That does not bode well. Thread is closed.
